How keen are you ,my local game is doing a midnight opening .It could be worth turning up at yours if their open and getting in the que.

They don't seem to have been advertising the fact they sell it that much so might be worth a go.

EDIT - Actually, just a point, if you pre order it in Sainsbury's, you pay a £2 deposit, then they just take that off the bill when you pick it up.

I wouldn't trust sainsburys if you want the Pre order blimp.

I Pre ordered cod from them using your method weeks in advance of the release and the version I got had no Pre order bonus with it (nuke town map).

Rockstar have now launched the lifeinvader website which you can sign into using your social club log in. By "stalking" various people and pages, it appears you get free stuff in game.
I've stalked a soft drinks company and a hairdressers and will apparently get a free "sprunk" from a vending machine and a free haircut!

The moral of the story is, do no preorder from whatever company I use as you'll always get it after everyone else!

Simply Games normally get games out prior to the release date but I've since read that they'll be dispatching GTA V on Monday.

Guess they've found themselves under the spot light after previous 'events'.

The Boss at Simply Games sent a message to me on FaceAche saying that NON of the company's will be delivering before Release Day, and said that he (SimplyGames) we're the only ones re-iterating this fact. It makes sense though, because if one company (On the Sligh) dispatched the games they would be gaining a hell of alot of customers imo for future pre orders.

Even if a copy is dispatched today it's likely the companies have instructed couriers to deliver on Tuesday.

Shopto.net

They are quite simply the best.

They took payment for mine yesterday so expecting mine today also.

Chris, will you recieve it in the next 8 days?? You know, because you live in 'middle earth' and postman Pat will be eaten to death by pheasants.
